I mean, every other tape measure I’ve used locks properly 🤷‍♂️

@@AdamsLab an autolock is a very specific mechanism (push to activate) that differs from a push fixed lock (and has much different mechanics) to it

Ok? That may be, I still consider it a design flaw that the tape moves with the slightest touch/jostle. Sorry for being honest…

@@AdamsLab no need to apologize just wanted to explain that they are different mechanisms with different intentions. We are happy to hear your feedback and just wanted to help provide some behind to scenes as to the differences and acknowledging that it is intentionally different.

Yeah, I suspect like most companies REEKON pays people for “reviews.”

@@AdamsLab we never pay for reviews and never will, discussion and feedback is essential to making better products and we welcome feedback from all sides and perspectives!

Free product in exchange for a review = paid review. And I know for a fact that you’ve done that (at least in the past).

@@AdamsLab yes we have done that but dont compensate for reviews with any payment or ask for any editorial approval before being posted - users are free to post whatever they want based on their impressions of the product

​@@REEKONTools - I get it's an inconvenient truth, but getting free product is payment and incentivizes people (influencers 🤮) to not speak honestly on the bad things about a product. If I 💩on your product, fair or not, you're probably not going to send me anymore free stuff. While a reviewer/influencer may not rely on the product directly (there not turning around and selling it for example), they do rely on being able to create content around the product(s) they receive for free. They need the product to make content, you want your product to be promoted, you have a symbiotic relationship. It's quid pro quo, it's you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours. That no longer works (for you) if the reviewer/influencer is saying bad things about your product. If it no longer works for you, it no longer works for the reviewer/influencer because you're no longer going to send them free product to make their content around. While the reviewer/influencer may have the best of intentions, this symbiotic relationship is ripe for creating perverse incentives. You don't have to directly influence the review via editorial approval or have it spelled out in the contract, because the understanding of what you do for the reviewer/influencer and what they do for you is baked into the *business relationship* you create when you exchange goods (your product) for services (the review).

If they fixed the tape lock $100 would be about right…

Speciality tools will never be worth it to diy or home owners cause you don’t do repeated things enough to offset the cost of the tool.

@@waynekeizer5720 - You don’t listen very well.

Interesting, other than the issues I mentioned I haven’t had any errors.

“iT’S NoT MeAnT FoR YoU” doesn’t excuse the crappy lock.

What looks good to one person maybe doesn’t to another

The lack of a functioning lock is objectively bad. You don’t have to be a “pRoFeSsIoNaL” to realize that.

@@AdamsLab mine works fine

Cool

The resolution is exactly what it’s supposed to be, for better or worse, I shot this as a vertical video. Also, the word you’re looking for is “horizontal.” Speaking of words and phrases, I suggest you lookup the definitions of “quick” and “off the cuff.” It might help explain some of the “deficiencies” you’ve pointed out.
